Review: Tronic has decided to celebrate its 400th release by issuing the second edition of its More Than Machine electro series. It gets off to an impressive start with label owner Christian Smith delivering an ominous slice of machine funk on "I Want It", before Carl Finlow drops a lithe rhythm and powerful low end in the shape of "Anomaly 3" and Detroit veteran DJ Godfather up the pace with the twitchy "Invasion of Detroit". But the presence of these veteran electro producers proves to be the exception rather than the rule, and the rest of Machine features techno artists exploring less well-known paths. Samuel Session impresses with the gritty, angular "Engine of War" and Alexander Kowalski deploys his bass-heavy approach to the nocturnal "Flickering Lights".

Review: The latest release on Symbolism is a meeting of two great techno minds, as Swedish veteran Samuel L Session hooks up with Belgian hotshot Van Czar. "Morning Debris" sees the pair fuse wild acid sequences with rolling tribal drums. While "Marked Spot" is based on a similar rhythmic backdrop, the sound is deeper, as melancholic synths unravel over the lean groove. The title track sees Session and Van Czar put the focus on the drums and bass, as a pulsating low end unfolds over razor sharp percussion. "First Man" marks another shift, this time with the pair reverting to a tweaked acid sound, playing out over a driving groove.

Scott Grooves - "Mothership Reconnection" (feat Parliament & Funkadelic - Daft Punk remix) - (5:54) 126 BPM
Review: In trying to put together a compilation to mark two decades, the people behind the Glasgow label have decided not to equate 'classic' with 'anthem'. Granted, there are big unit-shifting hits here like "Positive Education" and "Right On, Right On", but there are also lesser known releases that still glitter and sparkle despite the passage of time. At one end of this forgotten gem spectrum there's the epic synths and searing bass of the Heavenly mix of Funk D'Void's "Diabla" and the E-tingling, wide eyed brilliance of Slam's proto-prog "Eterna", while at the other end, there's the deep, repetitive techno of Percy X's "X-Trak 1" and the emotive melodies and complex polyrhythms of Black Dog's "Cost 2". Added to this is Daft Punk's unreleased "Drive", whose rolling snares and wild siren riffs sound like "Rolling and Scratching" jacked up on angel dust and you've got an unforgettable way to celebrate 20 years.

Review: Critically acclaimed debut album and the success of both Slam and Silicone Soul, Soma also had contributions on the label from Joris Voorn, Samuel L. Session and Itamar Sagi. Judging by the wealth of talent on this compilation, 2010 looks set to be a continuation of their superb work.
Established in 1991, Soma has been instrumental in Scotland's techno scene, pushing the likes of Slam, Funk D'Void and Silicone Soul on their way to the international stars that they have become. Still today, they manage to remain ahead of the game and their 2010 compilation showcases this in emphatic style.
This edition of their annual label compilation both looks back at their last year and then also on into the future. Joris Voorn and D'Julz are both on remixing duty for Slam tracks. Voorn takes on the label bosses' "Ghost Song" whereas D'Julz's dub of the classic "Positive Education" finds its way into the middle of the mix. Other established artists come in the form of Christian Prommer, The Black Dog and Funk D'Void. In keeping with their ethos of pushing up and coming talent, the highly touted Gary Beck and Harvey McKay both make an appearance before the compilation is closed by a remix courtesy of Warp's Autechre.
Soma has always released well selected, relevant and forward thinking compilations. Their 2010 bumper edition is no different. It not only celebrates their superb 2009, but also goes some way to showing us what we can expect for the forthcoming year. Dancefloor here we come!

Review: It's hard to believe that this split release is over twenty years old. Like a fine wine, its quality has improved with the passage of time. Deetron's contributions see him follow a deeply musical route. "Vibrando" resounds to atmospheric pads and a soaring Detroit-style melody. Even though he follows a more percussive approach on "Batuque", its rolling groove teems with mellow chord sequences. Samuel Session's "Rico Que Rico" follows a similar approach as "Batuque". However, it's more frenetic, with melodies unfolding over an insistent, loped groove. On "Guepa Guepita" Session opts for a more stripped back approach. But rather than sounding minimal, the bubbling rhythm teems with cowbells and vocal snatches - making for a rich cacophony.

Review: With close to 100 EPs in his catalogue, Samuel L Session is one of the undisputed but possibly lesser known practitioners of the tribal techno sound. As Voltaic, his latest release on Sleaze demonstrates, he is also one of the sound's most talented artists. The tile track unravels to repetitive, hypnotic filters and rolling, steely drums, while on "Cypher", he heads down a more driving, grinding route, led by insistent bleeps and rasping percussive ticks. "Trinidad Steel" sees the Swedish producer offer a more understated take on his style, with loose drums and twitching hi hats prevailing, but overall, Voltaic is an impressive demonstration of Session's sound.
